Association between the remnant cholesterol and the risk of new-onset chronic diseases: evidence from CHARLS

Key Points

• New-onset chronic diseases are associated with elevated remnant cholesterol levels, highlighting a potential risk factor.
• Data from CHARLS indicates that individuals with high remnant cholesterol have an increased likelihood of developing chronic conditions such as cardiovascular disease.
• Assessment was conducted through an observational analysis utilizing lipid profile data from the CHARLS cohort, which included diverse demographics across various regions.
• Results emphasize the potential for targeted interventions regarding cholesterol management to reduce chronic disease incidence in the population.
